His mother had long planned for him to become a classical virtuoso, but a meeting with a musician who introduced him to jazz changed this path completely. Adam packed his bags and left for Kraków, where he moved into a jazz nightclub and immediately became part of the city’s jazz scene. It was here where his thorough classical education and incredible talent led him to create his unique virtuoso style, one that merged the technique associated with classical music with the vibrance of jazz. In this episode, this standout Polish jazz pianist talks about freedom, beauty and interpretation in jazz music.</span></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="paragraph paragraph-text-formatted"> <div class="container"> <div class="content"> <h2>Time stamps:</h2> <p dir="ltr">[01:06] The centre of our home<br /> [02:03] Art Tatum<br /> [02:59] Radio<br /> [04:40] Rebel<br /> [05:09] Under the piano<br /> [06:49] Duo with Urszula Dudziak<br /> [09:30] John Hammond<br /> [11:06] Freedom<br /> [13:23] The first polish jazz virtuoso<br /> [14:04] Solo<br /> [15:10] Beauty <br /> [15:58] New York<br /> [17:34] Martial Law<br /> [19:51] Chopin<br /> [22:20] Home</p> <p dir="ltr"><a href= "https://culture.pl/en/transcript/the-virtuoso-adam-makowicz" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Read the transcript of this episode</em></a></p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="paragraph paragraph-text-formatted"> <div class="container"> <div class="content"> <h2 dir="ltr">Music from this episode</h2> <p dir="ltr">[07:00] Composition: <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMN9jcfrHtY" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Darkness and Newborn Light</a><br /> Artist: Urszula Dudziak and Adam Makowicz<br /> Album: Newborn Light </p> <p dir="ltr">[10:08] Composition: <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQJ4eijPmlU" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Chopin's Willows</a><br /> Artist Adam Makowicz<br /> Album: Adam <br /> <br /> [20:44] Composition: <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlU4Su9olLw" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Prelude No. 24 In D Minor</a><br /> Artist: Adam Makowicz, Leszek Możdżer<br /> Album: Możdżer vs. Makowicz at the Carnegie Hall </p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="paragraph paragraph-text-formatted"> <div class="container"> <div class="content"> <h2 dir="ltr">Further Reading </h2> <ul dir="ltr"> <li> <p><a href="https://culture.pl/en/artist/adam-makowicz" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">Adam Makowicz</a> // on Culture.pl</p> </li> <li><a href= "https://culture.pl/en/article/willis-conover-the-american-godfather-of-polish-jazz" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Willis Conover: The American Godfather of Polish Jazz</a> // on Culture.pl</li> <li> <p><a href= "https://memory.loc.gov/service/mss/mfdip/2010/2010con01/2010con01.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Interview with Willis Conover</a> // on memory.loc.gov</p> </li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> <div class="paragraph paragraph-text-formatted"> <div class="container"> <div class="content"> <h2 dir="ltr">Further Watching</h2> <ul dir="ltr"> <li> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Le761N4x5H8" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">Adam Makowicz performing in 1986</a></p> </li> <li> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tWiWiNGLNU" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">Adam Makowicz performing with Leszek Możdżer</a></p> </li> <li> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8BuB7OyQdU" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">Unit</a> // Full album</p> </li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> <div class="paragraph paragraph-text-formatted"> <div class="container"> <div class="content"> <h2 dir="ltr">Credits</h2> <p dir="ltr"><em>This episode of Rebel Spirits was hosted by Paweł Brodowski.
